Carlos Vega
Carlos Vega Academy
a video course for senior pickleball players
Don't run more. Stand better.
Hola. Doubles is chess with a paddle. We look at where to stand, how to move with your partner, and when patience gives you the better ball.
A short video lesson every Tuesday: one simple step, shown slowly, with a page to print. Members only, not on YouTube.

Lessons
It starts with these lessons — and keeps going
- Lesson 1
Move with your partner as one block
Shift together so a change of angle does not leave a gap between you.
- Lesson 2
Choose your position before the next shot
Use the ball and your partner's position to decide where to stand.
- Lesson 3
A serve that gives away no free point
Choose a dependable target and a repeatable motion over extra power.
- Lesson 4
Return deep and give yourself time
Use depth on the return to make your move toward the kitchen calmer.
- Lesson 5
Make the younger pair play one more ball
Use patient placement instead of trying to match their speed.
- Lesson 6
Choose the lob instead of forcing it
Read the pair's position and decide when a lob is worth trying.
Who teaches you
I'm Carlos Vega. I was born in Marbella, Spain, and coached doubles there for 35 years, from children to retired visitors. Six years ago I moved to Naples, Florida. I teach players over 60 to use position, patience and a partner who moves with them.
